I am good at math it is one of my favorite subjects in school.When I am doing what
I am good I feel smarter than anyone else in class.No one actually tells me not to do it
but they tell me I'm a school girl,I don't pay much attention to it but it gets annoying
Tuesday October 3,2006
There were several conflicts in the story one of them was that Tao
Chapter 8
The situation I'm writing is about a young Mexican
teenager who has a really close relation
Chapter 9
1. Maybe because of what it says in the book after Graybeard tells Tao
that he is going to teach him how to draw.''Perhaps the old shaman has become
a fool but I will help you.'' Refering to that I think Graybeard reconizes that Tao
knows how to draw and that it's Tao's passion.
2. It tells me that Graybeard is very compassionate and that he wants to help Tao.
Chapter 11
I think Graybeard is a good teacher because fist of all he knew how to earn
Tao's respect, he doesn't scream at Tao and he is very pacient
Yes because I think that art is very cool and that it might be nice to learn
how to draw
The Giver chapter 1
pg:5
Quote : '' LEAVE YOUR BICYCLES WHERE THEY ARE.''
Comments : Right before that quote it says that quote it says that a speaker announced that and after that its says that Jonas put his bike down now I have 2 questions 1:how did they (the person speaking in the speakers.)know that it was Jonas? 2: how did Jonas know that the announcement was reffering to him? I don't have that in my utopia for sure!
Chapter 2
pg11
quote: ''became a one ''
comments: From my understandings that phrase is the definition for age. In my Utopia we use normal language.I don't understand why they can't just
simply say that they are 12 yrs old or whatever age they are! that's what I notice in this chapter.I also noticed tht for like each year of age they get
a specific gift age that they are.That's kind of COOL!
Chapter 3
pg:20
quote: ''Maybe he had the same birthmother as you.''
comments: WHAT? I thought they had the same mother, and knew who was thier mother! So if they just got a new baby that means they are all adopted? Wow ! That's amazing and sad at the same time it's sad. I
feel bad for them because they don't know who's their biological
parent! THAT'S WRONG!
Chapter 4
pg:32
Quote: ''release''
comments:In this chapter I heard that phrase alot . I wonder what it means. Does it mean that they go to a diffrent utopia?Why do they get release? I know I'll findout soon!
Chapter 5
quote:''PILLS"
pg:38
Comments: At the end they began mentioning the word pills and I
was getting curious, because I didn't know what they were talking
about or why! I really wonder why! I also want to know why only from
a certain age you can start taking those pills? Why?
Chapter 6
quote:''the ceremony of 12''
pg:45
comments: FINALLY THE CEREMONY OF 12! ( yey ) Finally, wow I've been waiting for the day the ceremony came. I still don't know what the ceremony exactly is. I feel happy because one of my wonders is almost released, oh talking about release I still have to find out what that means. I'll find out!
Chapter 7 quote:''skipped''
pg:57
comments: Jonas has just gotten skipped. I can imagine him being nervous and imagine him being much more nervous after they had just skipped him! Wow I wonder what's going to happen next. ( I think I'm getting nervous too! )
Chapter 8
quote: ''Jonas''
pg: 64
comments: I chose to do this quote because that's the new reciever's name. Jonas, I new that he would have a special award because they mention the month that the ceremony takes place, and because Jonas is the main character. I feel happy for him! He diserves it.
Chapter 9
quote:''8.you may lie''
pg: 68
comments: rule number 8 says ''you may lie'' that's not cool specially when you have been told all your life not to lie and then all of the sudden they tell him he can lie. In the other hand it's kind of cool because you don't have to say the truth if a nosy person wants to know something and if you don't want to hurt anyone. so it's good and bad for totally diffrent reasons.
Chapter 10
quote: ''books''
pg: 74
comments:Jonas has only seen a dictionary and the book with all the places in the community. So that means that they don't read books,wow! So how or from were do they get their education? I think they didn't have an education because I never heard anyone saying anything about school. Shame on them!
Chapter 11
quote:''snow''
pg: 81
comments: I really enjoyed this part about the snow. But I am shock because they/ he has never been to the snow. ( that's bad ) I thought there wads going to be pain that actually sounds like the fun it really is.
Chapter 12
quote:''color''
pg: 92
comments: OH MY, they don't know colors, no wonder they used words such as pale eyes. I still can't believe it. they are color blind. How come only the Giver knows the colors and the rest of the people are color blind. That's not fair! my utopia sure does see color, but I still don't get the point of the rest of the people being COLOR BLIND! No wonder he saw wird stuff like in the apple, Fionna's hair, and so on.
Chapter 13
Quote:" guns''
pg: 100
comments: Jonas is starting to feel pain I feel bad for him. If what he's feeling hurts him emotionally he doesn't know what he is in for. This is just the starting point. :(
Chapter 14
quote:''pain''
pg: 109
comments: Jonas keeps getting much more pain every day. How come he has to go through that, why can't the other peolpe live in their happy normal life while his is facing that pain, Why?
Chapter 15
quote:''blood''
pg: 119
comments: In this chapter Jonas went thruogh something hard he was living pain,he was bleeding poor of Jonas. I wouldn't want to be in his shoes he is really, really suferring I feel really sorry for him.
Chapter 16
quote'' memories''
pg: 122 comments: This is the part of the book I don't like because Jonas is just living memories. I feel really sorry for him but I got kind of tired of hearing pure memories I hpoe this can end soon!
